We're pleased to announce the availability of RT 4.2.0rc5 - the fifthrelease candidate for the next major version of RT. This release
corrects encoding errors with new versions of the Encode module and
rendering of fonts in pie charts.

We look forward to hearing your experiences installing or upgrading to
this release; the more feedback we get, the sooner the official release
of RT 4.2.0 can occur. Bear in mind that reports of successful installs
and upgrades are just as important as reports of issues.

Please be sure to review the upgrading documentation available in
docs/UPGRADING-4.2, as there are a number of backward-incompatible
changes that come along with the new version number.

We are also pleased to announce we have made public our development branch of Assets for RT. This extension requires RT 4.2.0rc5 or above; while no official release has been made, we welcome your testing and comments. We expect to make an official release candidate for Assets 1.0 within the next several weeks.
